Colonoscopy Check More Accurate If Doctor Listen to Mozart

Known to Mozart's music is usually good for brain development of children. But the study found a doctor who listened to Mozart's music when doing a colonoscopy will have a better performance.

Colonoscopy is a procedure performed to examine the large intestinal tract by means of a lens is very flexible optical fiber is inserted through the anus until it reaches the large intestine.

This examination is usually done to determine the condition of the colon wall is there any polyps or other abnormalities that arises which is suspected to be malignant.
Studies presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology in Washington said that doctors who perform colonoscopy may be able to find and remove polyps better if listening to Mozart during the procedure.

The study was based on a theory called the Mozart effect. In the journal Nature in 1993 known to Mozart's music can enhance a person's ability to visualize spatial patterns.

This study was conducted two researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, namely Catherine Noelle O'Shea and David Wolf. Both decided to test the effects of Mozart on two doctors who perform colonoscopy.

When the second doctor is listening to Mozart during a colonoscopy, so successful in the detection of adenomas increased by around 66 percent and 37 percent. This means more doctors find precancerous polyps that develop so that detection becomes better.

Polyps are small growth in the intestine which in the next 10 years could turn into cancer, so more and more polyps that can be lifted will be able to prevent the occurrence of colon cancer.

Mozart effect in general is difficult to prove, it could not hurt to include Mozart's music when I had to do a colonoscopy. Although studies are still needed in large numbers to see the effect further.
